THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Albert Hall Tavern Restaurant Review

: From the outside, this looks like your average, rousing Midtown bar, filled with regulars and bartenders who seem to know everyone by name. However, Albert Hall Tavern doesn't bank on the fact that you'll be too busy drinking to worry about the food; with gastropub fare on offer, you may want to stop by even if you're not imbibing. While the wine list is moderately priced and skews French, the selection of beers on tap is the real attraction, with several Belgian beauties like Kwak, Delirium and Blanche De Bruxelles on draft. Tartare two ways (either tuna or beef) and bone marrow with pickled beets are where you should start. A classic iceberg wedge doesn't disappoint, and who can resist a cheesy warm spinach dip? The food is hearty but you can get a whole roast branzino simply served with lemon and garlic to lighten the load. Because you're not watching calories anyway, end with a bang in the form of a black walnut brownie (ala mode, of course).
